In this book, the author has put everything, which sells it in India-Cricket, religion, Communal riots, politics, love, aspirations, misery, sacrifice(s), the earthquake in Gujarat etc etc but it is a poor mix of all these potentially winning ingredients. There's too much of unnecessary emotion, unrealistic action and what's more we are supposed to believe that the book is based on a real story. The book is so contrived, melodramatic, unoriginal and boring that it reminded me of the bollywood flicks. And I don't think there is any point talking about characterization. There is hardly any. As of good things his grammar which is very poor made me feel better about my grammar and the mention of the names ML Khanna and Resnick & Halliday made me a bit nostalgic.
This book is supposed to inspire the youngistan's of Hindustan. If ever a day comes when I have to draw inspiration from Mr.Bhagat's books, then God save me. I won't recommend this book to anyone unless he/she is a a huge bollywood fan and who wants to read the books which are unintelligent.
Ok. Got it. Not all the books are meant to be intelligent and original.Some(like this one)are just meant to be page turners. But do I find it a quick read? Yes, but still it is not a good read but a painful one.
So what are The 3 Mistakes of My Life?
- Against my better Judgement, borrowing a Chetan Bhagat's
book from my friend on his insistence.
Reading the book.
Bothering to write a review about this book.
